ULevi 14
1 UThixo wathi kuMosi,
Yehova anawuza Mose kuti,
2 “Le yimithetho eqondana lalowo olobulephero ngesikhathi sokuhlanjululwa kwakhe ngokomkhuba, nxa elethwa phambi komphristi.
“Malamulo a munthu wakhate pa tsiku la kuyeretsedwa kwake ndi awa: Abwere naye kwa wansembe.
3 Umphristi kaphume ezihonqweni ayemhlola. Nxa umuntu lowo esesilile ebulepherweni,
Wansembe atuluke kunja kwa msasa ndipo amuonetsetse wodwalayo. Ngati munthu wakhateyo wachira,
4 umphristi uzalaya ukuthi kulethelwe inyoni ezimbili eziphilayo, ezihlambulukileyo, kanye lenkuni zesihlahla somsedari, intambo ebomvu lehisophi ukuze lowo muntu ahlanjululwe.
wansembe alamule anthu kuti amutengere wodwala woti ayeretsedweyo, mbalame zamoyo ziwiri zomwe Ayuda amaloledwa kudya, nthambi yamkungudza, kansalu kofiirira ndi kanthambi ka hisope.
5 Lapho-ke umphristi uzalaya ukuthi eyinye yalezo nyoni ibulawelwe phezu kwamanzi acengekileyo, asembizeni yomdaka.
Wansembe alamule anthuwo kuti mbalame imodzi ayiphere mu mʼphika wa dothi pamwamba pa madzi abwino.
6 Usezathatha inyoni ephilayo ayigxamuze ndawonye lokhuni lomsedari, lentambo ebomvu lehisophi egazini laleyo nyoni ebulawelwe phezu kwamanzi ahlambulukileyo.
Kenaka wansembe atenge mbalame yamoyo ija ndi kuyinyika pamodzi ndi nthambi yamkungudza, kansalu kofiirira ndi kanthambi ka hisope kaja mʼmagazi ambalame imene anayiphera pamwamba pa madzi abwino.
7 Uzachela lowo ohlanjululwa ubulephero ngalelogazi kasikhombisa, abesesithi usehlambulukile. Abesekhulula inyoni esaphila izihambele egangeni.
Wansembe awaze magazi kasanu ndi kawiri pa munthu woti amuyeretse khateyo ndipo alengeze kuti munthuyo ndi woyeretsedwa. Kenaka wansembe awulutsire ku thengo mbalame yamoyoyo.
8 Umuntu okufanele ukuthi ahlanjululwe kumele agezise izigqoko zakhe, aphuce zonke inwele zakhe, abesegeza umzimba ngamanzi, ngalokho uzabe esehlambulukile ngokomkhuba. Ngemva kwalokho usengangena ezihonqweni, kodwa kumele ahlale ngaphandle kwethente lakhe okwensuku eziyisikhombisa.
“Munthu amene wayeretsedwa uja achape zovala zake, amete tsitsi lake lonse, ndipo asambe mʼmadzi. Akatero adzakhala woyeretsedwa. Atatha zimenezi munthuyo apite ku msasa wake koma akhale kunja kwa msasawo kwa masiku asanu ndi awiri.
9 Ngosuku lwesikhombisa kumele aphuce zonke inwele zakhe, intshiya zakhe kanye lazozonke inwele zakhe. Kufanele agezise izigqoko zakhe, ageze umzimba ngamanzi; ngalokho uzakuba ngohlambulukileyo.
Pa tsiku lachisanu ndi chiwiri amete tsitsi lake lonse: amete kumutu, ndevu zake, nsidze zake pamodzi ndi tsitsi lina lonse. Kenaka achape zovala zake ndi kusamba mʼmadzi, ndipo adzakhala woyeretsedwa.
10 Ngosuku lwesificaminwembili kumele alethe amazinyane amabili amaduna lelilodwa elisikazi, wonke elomnyaka owodwa, wonke engelasici, ndawonye lezilinganiso zehefa ezintathu etshumini zefulawa ecolekileyo, evutshwe ngamafutha, kungumnikelo wamabele, kanye lehetshezana lwamafutha.
“Pa tsiku lachisanu ndi chitatu munthuyo atenge ana ankhosa aamuna awiri ndi mwana wankhosa wamkazi wa chaka chimodzi. Zonsezi zikhale zopanda chilema. Atengenso chopereka chachakudya cha ufa wosalala wa makilogalamu atatu wosakaniza ndi mafuta wokwana limodzi mwa magawo atatu a lita.
11 Umphristi obikayo ukuthi usehlambulukile lowomuntu nguye omethulayo kanye leminikelo yakhe kuThixo esangweni lethente lokuhlangana.
Wansembe amene ati ayeretse munthu wodwalayo amuyimitse munthuyo ali ndi zopereka zake zonse pamaso pa Yehova pa khomo la tenti ya msonkhano.
12 Ngemva kwalokho, umphristi kathathe elinye izinyane eliduna anikele ngalo kube ngumnikelo wecala, kanye lehetshezana lwamafutha; uzakuzunguza phambi kukaThixo, kungumnikelo wokuzunguzwa.
“Ndipo wansembe atenge mwana wankhosa wamwamuna mmodzi ndi kumupereka kuti akhale nsembe yopepesera kupalamula, pamodzi ndi mafuta wokwana limodzi mwa magawo atatu a lita. Wansembe aziweyule zonsezi pamaso pa Yehova kuti zikhale chopereka choweyula.
13 Uzahlaba lelozinyane endaweni engcwele lapho okuhlatshelwa khona iminikelo yesono kanye leminikelo yokutshiswa. Umnikelo wecala ungowomphristi, njengomnikelo wesono; ungcwele kakhulu.
Mwana wankhosayo amuphere pa malo amene amaphera nsembe yopepesera machimo ndi nsembe yopsereza, kutanthauza malo opatulika. Monga zimakhalira ndi chopereka chopepesera machimo, chopereka ichi ndi chake cha wansembe ndipo ndi chopereka choyera kopambana.
14 Umphristi uzathatha elinye igazi lomnikelo wecala alininde oqwangeni lwendlebe yokunene yalowo ozahlanjululwa, esithupheni sesandla sokunene sakhe.
Wansembe atengeko magazi a nsembe yopepesera kupalamula ndi kuwapaka pa msonga pa khutu lakumanja la munthu woti ayeretsedweyo. Apakenso pa chala chachikulu cha ku dzanja lamanja, ndi chala chachikulu cha ku phazi lakumanja.
15 Umphristi uzathatha amanye amafutha, awathele esandleni sakhe sokhohlo,
Wansembe atengeko mafuta pangʼono, nʼkuwathira mʼdzanja lake lamanzere,
16 agxamuze umunwe wakhe wenkomba emafutheni lawo, abesewafafaza phambi kukaThixo kasikhombisa.
aviyike chala chake cha ku dzanja lamanja mʼmafuta amene ali mʼdzanja lamanzerewo, ndi kuwaza mafutawo ndi chala chakecho kasanu ndi kawiri pamaso pa Yehova.
17 Umphristi kaninde amafutha aseleyo esandleni oqwangeni lwendlebe yokunene yalowo ozahlanjululwa, esithupheni sesandla sokunene lasozwaneni olukhulu lonyawo lolwesokunene, phezu kwegazi lomnikelo wecala.
Wansembe apake mafuta otsala mʼdzanja lake pa khutu lakumanja la munthu amene akuyeretsedwayo. Awapakenso pa chala chake chachikulu cha ku dzanja lamanja ndiponso pa chala chake chachikulu cha ku phazi lakumanja, pamalo pamene anali atapakapo magazi a nsembe yopepesera kupalamula paja.
18 Amafutha lawo aseleyo esandleni somphristi kawagcobe ekhanda lalowo ohlanjululwayo, abesemenzela indlela yokubuyisana phambi kukaThixo.
Mafuta onse otsala mʼdzanja la wansembe awathire pamutu pa munthu woti ayeretsedwe uja, ndipo potero adzachita mwambo womupepesera pamaso pa Yehova.
19 Ngemva kwalokho, kalethe umnikelo wesono ecelela ozahlanjululwa indlela yokubuyisana kulokhu kungcola kwakhe. Ngemva kwalokho, umphristi uzenza umnikelo wokutshiswa,
“Kenaka wansembe apereke nsembe yopepesera machimo kuti achite mwambo womupepesera munthu woti ayeretsedwe khate lake uja. Atatha kuchita zimenezi, wansembe aphe nyama ya nsembe yopsereza
20 anikele ngawo e-alithareni, kanye lowamabele, amenzele indlela yokubuyisana, ngalokho uzahlanjululwa.
ndi kuyipereka pa guwa, pamodzi ndi nsembe yachakudya. Akatero ndiye kuti wansembe wachita mwambo wopepesera munthu wodzayeretsedwayo, ndipo adzakhala woyera.
21 Kodwa-ke, nxa engumyanga, engazenelisi lezizinto, kumele athathe izinyane lemvu eliduna libe ngumnikelo wecala ozazunguzwa ukumenzela indlela yokubuyisana, lengxenye eyodwa etshumini yefulawa ecolekileyo ehlanganiswe lamafutha, kungumnikelo wamabele, lehetshezana lwamafutha,
“Ngati munthu woti ayeretsedweyo ndi wosauka ndipo sangathe kupeza zinthu zimenezi, apereke mwana wankhosa wamwamuna monga nsembe yopepesera kupalamula ndipo ayiweyule pochita mwambo womupepesera. Aperekenso kilogalamu imodzi ya ufa wosalala osakaniza ndi mafuta kuti ikhale nsembe yachakudya, pamodzi ndi mafuta wokwanira limodzi mwa magawo atatu a lita.
22 lamajuba amabili kumbe amaphuphu enkwilimba amabili, lokho angakwanelisa, okunye kungumnikelo wesono kuthi okunye kube ngumnikelo wokutshiswa.
Aperekenso njiwa ziwiri kapena mawunda awiri zomwe iye angathe kuzipeza. Imodzi ikhale nsembe yopepesera machimo, ndi inayo ikhale ya nsembe yopsereza.
23 Ngosuku lwesificaminwembili kumele akulethe kumphristi ukuba ahlanjululwe esangweni lethente lokuhlangana phambi kukaThixo.
“Pa tsiku lachisanu ndi chitatu zonsezo abwere nazo kwa wansembe, pa khomo pa tenti ya msonkhano, pamaso pa Yehova kuti munthuyo ayeretsedwe.
24 Umphristi kathathe izinyane lemvu libe ngumnikelo wecala, ndawonye lehetshezana lwamafutha, akuzunguze phambi kukaThixo, kube ngumnikelo wokuzunguzwa.
Wansembe atenge mwana wankhosa wopereka nsembe yopepesera kupalamula, pamodzi ndi mafuta aja, ndipo aziweyule kuti zikhale nsembe yoweyula pamaso pa Yehova.
25 Uzahlaba izinyane lemvu kube ngumnikelo wecala abesethatha elinye alininde oqwangeni lwendlebe yokwesokudla yalowo ozahlanjululwa, esithupheni sesandla sokunene kanye lasozwaneni olukhulu lonyawo lwesandla sokunene.
Wansembe aphe nkhosa yopereka nsembe yopepesera kupalamula ndipo atenge magazi ake ndi kuwapaka pa msonga ya khutu lakumanja la munthu amene ayeretsedweyo. Awapakenso pa chala chachikulu cha ku dzanja lamanja, ndiponso pa chala chachikulu cha ku phazi lakumanja.
26 Umphristi uzachathekela amanye amafutha esandleni sakhe senxele,
Kenaka wansembe athire mafuta mʼdzanja lake lamanzere,
27 besekusithi ngomunwe wakhe wenkomba, owesandla sokunene achele amanye amafutha kasikhombisa phambi kukaThixo.
ndipo ndi chala chake cha ku dzanja lamanja awaze mafutawo kasanu ndi kawiri pamaso pa Yehova.
28 Kuthi amanye amafutha asesandleni sakhe awaninde endaweni lezo aninde khona igazi lomnikelo wecala, oqwangeni lwendlebe yokwesokudla yalowo ozahlanjululwa, esithupheni sesandla sokunene kanye lasozwaneni olukhulu lonyawo lwesandla sokunene.
Apakenso mafuta omwewo amene ali mʼdzanja lake lamanja pa msonga ya khutu la kudzanja lamanja la munthu amene akuyeretsedwayo. Apakenso pa chala chachikulu cha phazi lakumanja, pamalo pamene anapakapo magazi a nsembe yopepesera kupalamula.
29 Umphristi uzagcoba ikhanda lalowo ohlanjululwayo ngamafutha aseleyo esandleni sakhe, emenzela indlela yokubuyisana phambi kukaThixo.
Mafuta onse otsala amene ali mʼdzanja la wansembe awapake pamutu pa munthu amene ayeretsedweyo kuti amuchitire mwambo wopepesera machimo pamaso pa Yehova.
30 Ngakho uzanikela ngamajuba lawayana loba amaphuphu enkwilimba lezo, lokho ayabe ekwenelisile,
Ndipo munthuyo apereke njiwa ziwiri kapena mawunda ankhunda awiri, molingana ndi mmene anapezeramo,
31 okunye kungumnikelo wesono, kuthi okunye kube ngumnikelo wokutshiswa, ndawonye lomnikelo wamabele. Ngale indlela, umphristi uzakwenzela ozahlanjululwa indlela yokubuyisana phambi kukaThixo.”
imodzi ikhale ya nsembe yopepesera machimo ndipo inayo ikhale ya nsembe yopsereza, pamodzi ndi chopereka chachakudya. Akatero ndiye kuti wansembe wachita mwambo wopepesera machimo a munthu woti ayeretsedwe.
32 Le yiyo imithetho yokuphathwa kwalabo abalomkhuhlane wobulephero abangenelisi iminikelo yokuhlanjululwa ejayelekileyo.
“Amenewa ndi malamulo a munthu wakhate amene alibe zinthu zoti apereke pamene akuyeretsedwa.
33 UThixo wathi kuMosi lo-Aroni,
“Yehova anawuza Mose ndi Aaroni kuti,
34 “Nxa lingena ezweni laseKhenani, lelo engilinika lona ukuba libe yisabelo senu, besengifaka isikhwekhwe esithelelwanayo endlini kulelolizwe,
Mukakalowa mʼdziko la Kanaani limene ndikukupatsani kuti likhale lanu, ndipo Ine ndikakabweretsa ndere zoyanga mʼnyumba mʼdziko limenelo,
35 umnini waleyondlu kufanele ayetshela umphristi athi ‘ngibona okufanana lesikhwekhwe endlini yami?’
mwini wake nyumbayo adzapite kwa wansembe ndi kukamuwuza kuti, ‘Ndaona chinthu chooneka ngati ndere mʼnyumba mwanga.’
36 Umphristi engakayi kuleyondlu ukuyahlola isikhwekhwe kumele akhiphe isiqondiso sokuthi kutshiswe konke okukuleyondlu ukuze kungabi lalutho kuleyondlu oluzathiwa lungcolile. Ngemva kwalokho, umphristi uzangena ahlole leyondlu.
Tsono wansembe alamule kuti anthu atulutse zinthu zonse mʼnyumbamo iye asanalowemo ndi kukaonetsetsa ndereyo kuti mʼnyumbamo musapezeke chinthu choti achitchule chodetsedwa. Izi zitachitika, wansembe alowe mʼnyumbamo ndi kukaonamo.
37 Uzahlola isikhwekhwe emidulini, kuthi nxa ebona ukuthi kulamabala aluhlaza loba abomvana emdulini njalo ebonakala ejulile emdulini,
Iye aonetsetse nderezo. Tsono akapeza kuti nderezo zili mʼkhoma la nyumba, ndipo ngati zili ndi mawanga obiriwira kapena ofiirira, komanso zikuoneka kuti zalowerera mpaka mʼkati mwa khoma,
38 umphristi uzaphuma ngomnyango wendlu, awuvale okwensuku eziyisikhombisa.
wansembe atuluke mʼnyumbamo ndi kupita pa khomo, ndipo ayitseke nyumbayo masiku asanu ndi awiri.
39 Ngosuku lwesikhombisa, umphristi uzabuyela ayehlola leyondlu. Nxa isikhwekhwe sesigcwele emidulini,
Pa tsiku la chisanu ndi chiwiri wansembe abwerenso kudzayangʼana mʼnyumbamo. Ngati ndere yafalikira mʼmakoma a nyumbayo,
40 uzakhupha isiqondiso sokuthi amatshe alaleso sikhwekhwe adilizwe, ayephoselwa endaweni engcolileyo ngaphandle kwedolobho.
wansembe alamule kuti anthu agumule miyala imene muli nderezo ndipo akayitaye kudzala la kunja kwa mzinda.
41 Kalaye ukuthi imiduli yonke eyangaphakathi iphalwe, kuthi lokho okuphaliweyo kuyelahlelwa endaweni engcolileyo ngaphandle kwedolobho.
Wansembe awuze anthu kuti apale makoma onse a mʼkati mwa nyumbayo, ndipo zopalidwazo akazitaye ku malo odetsedwa a kunja kwa mudzi.
42 Besebefaka amatshe amatsha esikhundleni salawo, bagudule indlu ngodaka olutsha.
Tsono anthuwo atenge miyala ina ndi kuyilowetsa mʼmalo mwa miyala imene anagumula ija ndipo atenge dothi latsopano ndi kumata nyumbayo.
43 Nxa isikhwekhwe sibonakala kutsha kuleyondlu ngemva kokudilizwa kwamatshe lokuphalwa kwemiduli njalo isigudulwe,
“Ngati ndere iwonekanso mʼnyumbamo atagumula kale miyala ndiponso atayipala kale ndi kuyimatanso,
44 umphristi kahambe ayeyihlola, nxa efumana isikhwekhwe sesiqhelile kuleyondlu, kuyabe kuyisikhwekhwe esibulalayo; leyondlu ingcolile.
wansembe apite kukayionetsetsenso ndipo ngati nderezo zafalikira mʼnyumbamo, ndiye kuti ndere zimenezo ndi zoopsa. Nyumba imeneyo ndi yodetsedwa.
45 Kufanele idilizwe, amatshe ayo, izigodo, lodaka lwayo kumele kuyephoselwa endaweni engcolileyo ngaphandle kwedolobho.
Agwetse nyumbayo, ndipo miyala yake, matabwa pamodzi ndi dothi lake lonse, zonse akazitaye kudzala lodetsedwa, kunja kwa mzinda.
46 Loba ngubani ongena kuleyondlu ngesikhathi isavaliwe uzakuba ngongcolileyo kuze kube kusihlwa.
“Aliyense amene alowa mʼnyumbamo itatsekedwa adzakhala wodetsedwa mpaka madzulo.
47 Loba ngubani ozalala loba adlele kuleyondlu kufanele agezise izigqoko zakhe.
Munthu amene wagona mʼnyumbamo kapena kudyeramo ayenera kuchapa zovala zake.
48 Kodwa umphristi angabuya ezoyihlola afumane ukuthi isikhwekhwe asiqhelanga ngemva kokugudulwa, uzakuthi indlu ihlambulukile, ngoba isikhwekhwe singasekho.
“Koma ngati pambuyo pa kuyimata, wansembe abwera kudzaonetsetsa mʼnyumbamo napeza kuti ndereyo sinafalikire, iye alengeze kuti nyumbayo ndi yoyeretsedwa, chifukwa ndereyo yatha.
49 Ukuze indlu ibe ngehlanzekileyo, uzathatha inyoni ezimbili kanye lenkuni zesihlahla somsedari, lentambo ezelukiweyo ezibomvu lehisophi.
Kuti nyumbayo iyeretsedwe, mwini wake atenge mbalame ziwiri, kanthambi kamkungudza, kansalu kofiirira ndi kachitsamba ka hisope.
50 Uzahlaba enye yalezi zinyoni emanzini acengekileyo embizeni yomdaka.
Wansembe aphe mbalame imodzi pamwamba pa madzi abwino mu mʼphika wa dothi.
51 Abesethatha inkuni zesihlahla somsedari, ihisophi, intambo ebomvu elukiweyo lenyoni ephilayo, akugxamuze egazini lenye ebuleweyo lamanzi acengekileyo, abesechela leyondlu kasikhombisa.
Kenaka atenge kanthambi kamkungudza, kachitsamba ka hisope, kansalu kofiirira pamodzi ndi mbalame yamoyo ija, zonsezi aziviyike mʼmagazi a mbalame yophedwa ija, ndiponso mʼmadzi abwino aja, ndipo awaze nyumbayo kasanu ndi kawiri
52 Uzayihlanza leyondlu ngegazi lenyoni, amanzi acengekileyo, inyoni ephilayo, inkuni zesihlahla somsedari, ihisophi lentambo ephothiweyo ebomvu.
Akatero ndiye kuti wayeretsa nyumbayo ndi magazi a mbalame, madzi abwino, mbalame yamoyo, kanthambi kamkungudza, kachitsamba ka hisope ndi kansalu kofiirira.
53 Ngemva kwalokho kakhulule inyoni ephilayo emangweni ngaphandle kwedolobho. Ngalindlela uzabe esenze indlela yokubuyisana kuleyondlu, izabe singehlambulukileyo.”
Kenaka ayiwulutsire mbalame yamoyo ija kuthengo, kunja kwa mzinda. Pamenepo ndiye kuti wansembe wachita mwambo wopepesera nyumbayo, ndipo idzakhala yoyeretsedwa.”
54 Le yiyo imithetho eqondane lobulephero, ukuluma komzimba,
Amenewa ndiwo malamulo a nthenda ya khate, bala lonyerenyetsa,
55 isikhwekhwe ezigqokweni kumbe endlini,
nguwi za pa zovala, ndere za mʼnyumba,
56 ukuvuvuka, ukuqubuka kumbe itshatha elikhanyayo,
khate la chithupsa, khate la mʼbuko ndi khate la banga
57 ukuze kubonakale ukuthi ulutho luhlambulukile loba lungcolile. Le yiyo imithetho yobulephero kanye lesikhwekhwe.
kuti mudziwe ngati chinthucho ndi choyeretsedwa kapena chodetsedwa. Amenewa ndiwo malamulo a nthenda zonse za khate.
